Ted Lasso may be over, but you can check out another series from Bill Lawrence called Shrinking. The series is set to premiere its second season later this year, and we just got a new teaser. Check this out:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j1QazL8vdAQThe basic premise of the series is that Jimmy (Jason Segel) is a therapist who is grieving the loss of his wife, and decides to go out of the box when it comes to his clients. Throwing out all the training and ethics rules, Jimmy starts telling his clients exactly what he thinks, and it results in really profound changes for them.
The series is also filled with all kinds of great characters with a cast that includes Jessica Williams, Christa Miller, Lukita Maxwell, Luke Tennie, and Michael Urie. Harrison Ford also plays the part of Jimmy’s mentor/boss , Paul.
According to TV Line, the second season is actually going to have an appearance from series co-creator Brett Goldstein. Ted Lasso fans may know him best as Roy Kent, the series grump whose heart is always in the right place.
Though Ford is infamously a grump for the franchises he’s worked on (even with the upcoming Captain America: Brave New World), it does seem like Shrinking is one of those more heartfelt projects where he gets to have a semi-serious role which is still comedic at times. It’s definitely great to see him back for a second season.
Shrinking Season 2 is set to release on Apple TV+ on Oct. 16.
